The best game i played ever, period. There are a lot of WOW moments. Eg. when I discover the iPod and it’s in-game interface. I wish I can download songs into the in-game ipod for Snake to listen to. Another WOW moment is the interactive cut-scene. It’s probably the first game where you can view a cut scene in any camera position. The third WOW moment is to see Sunny dancing.

I have played Act 1 3 times already, just to perfect my sneaking skills and try to collect as many items as I can.

I wonder why GTAIV get a perfect 10 across the board but MGS4 doesn’t… I agree with the IGN(?) comment.. if I can give 11 to a game, MGS4 will be it.

I picked up a copy of the game today. First impression was that the sound was truly awesome. I have a regular 5.1 digital system using optical hookup and this game has the best sound yet. The graphics are also a cut above other games, plays at full high def rather than upscaled low res. A consequence of that is the levels seem kind of short, maybe about 100 feet of gameplay before another cut scene and another loading of data. I’ve only played through the first couple scenes though so maybe that will change.

I noticed if you pan around with the right stick when Otocon is on video you can see he has a Mac. A nice touch. Lots of other cool things in the game too.

Worth 60$ for sure.

Two questions: maybe spoilers

Do I need a real ipod or Snakes game ipod to play the mps3 i’ve been finding in the game?

Anyone notice Snake’s using a Playstation controller when he’s controlling the MK II?

Apparently when you acquire the digital camera you can take photos with the pad that’s connected to port 2, while you’re playing the game. You can also export the photos to the XMB!

Actually, I found Act 1 kinda boring what with the kajillion cut scenes, the poor voice acting, the ponderous cut-scenes with the soap opera subplots and the second hand sci-fi. As for the comedy, I’ll have to admit I chuckled when I saw the guy trying to take a dump inside a barrel but this character’s incontinence becomes most of the comic relief if you don’t count the annoying monkey. Count me out on thinking see a guy crap his pants is funny.

I’m looking forward to finally getting to play against the bosses. All in all, not enough action, too much talking. As for playing PS3 games over — try playing Resistance again, quite addicting. Right now this game is looking like it will be on the resell list once I’m finished.
